I think LA rolls easily. Having said that, I have discounted Boston's resiliency time and time again and they have proved me wrong.
I think Lakers take this one. It won't be easy though, Celtics will go for the knockout blow. They do not want to play a Game 7 against LA in Staples.
A combination of ref calls, Laker role players stepping up, Laker starters stepping up, and Celtic role players not showing up will be the reason LA wins.

Lakers will win game 6, Boston will win game 7.
Refs will give the Lakers the game. no doubt about it
If you put a gun to my head? LA. Problem is Celtics are ed if this goes 7 so they have to win tomorrow night.
I got no perspective. I still find myself grateful they beat the Suns.
Boston is completely capable of winning game 7
just remember, Boston eliminated the Cavs and Magic, without home court advantage.
Boston has been the best road team in the playoffs.
Yeah that is nice and all. Fact is Boston has to close this out tomorrow night. This isn't a pretender team such as Cleveland or Orlando. These are the defending champions. They can't afford to go to a game 7 with them. They have the Lakers on the ropes. They have to deliver the knock out blow and tomorrow is their best shot at it. I don't care what they did in the previous 3 rounds.If they fail to win game 6, is going to get messy for them. Lakers with momentum with game 7 on their floor. That isn't something I want to even think about. Celts themselves if they can't wrap it up tomorrow night.
I'm going to say LA by 10. They're too talented to not like on their homecourt in a must-win like this.
It seems like with the exception of the 1st round, everyone has discounted the Celtics, including me, and they've proved us wrong.
All signs point to an LA victory but I think Boston will end up taking care of business and ending the 2009-10 season in game 6
Just seems like its their year
Entirely ing possible.
I think Kobe will be smart and get everyone involved early. He knows he needs the ring or none of his "heroics" mean . This should be Gasol's chance to go off.
Cleveland and Orlando aren't pretenders. They're better teams than LA.
and lol @ Boston being completely incapable of winning a Game 7 in LA.
They aren't no pretender team like Yaoless Houston.
They're both white bread.
No team will beat the Lakers. That includes Boston. Lakers in 7.
I like the cut of your jib, 1000.
My brains saying LA, but my guts saying Boston.
I don't even know why this thread was started. LA will win tomorrow very easily and it won't be close.

Are you just talking out your ass, El, or, do you have a cogent thought to support your assurance?
I'll take Lakers in Game 6 and Game 7 while I'm at it.
No sure thing, either one. Probably 60%, maybe 70% if Bynum's able to go and the home crowd gives them a big push.
So call it 65% for each game -- independent of one another.
That still means Boston is favored 60-40 to win the le.
Not great odds but not terrible either.
These teams are very evenly matched.
The point differential in this series total is at Boston +2 right now. Pretty stinkin close.
Well it's pretty obvious they'll win both imo.
Both teams are very resilient. It's hard for me to say that either team winning this le "proves" they are better or more resilient than the other.
I will say I underestimated Boston going into the playoffs... man did they come to play once the postseason rolled around though.
